i have always liked the idea of the artist and literary salon of yesteryear and wanted to see if it can be revived and brought into the present. chiswick itself has a rich bohemian history with all kinds of artists and thinkers having lived and spend time here, just as much well as it has a vibrant creative present !

this is the web-based version and at the heart of it is the forum - it is meant to be a playground with a bit more freedom to express, think and speak, then often seems to be case nowadays.

if you are easily offended, and would like people banned or censored, this place is probably not for you.

there are also going to be 'real' Chiswick Artists salon events, where a bunch of local artists take turns in hosting salons in their houses and studios.the salon events will be 'invite only' events due to size & space limitations.

the web-version is open to all, you don't need to be an artist, as long as you are okay with the ethos and the concept, as there will be ranting and there will be raving !

to read (as well as post or just lurk) the forum, you have to become a member, so i hope you will join us
